Now the company want to close its books for six months ended 31 March 2015 to align itself with the requirements of companies act 2013.

May be after preparing the Annual Report for six months, you need to clearly give a note with reasons for preparing Fin St. for 6 months period and not for the whole financial year, and all other Schedule III requirements followed accordingly.
